Enterprise Routed Access for Data-Only Copper Connections
C9300-48T-A is a managed Layer 3 access switch with 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports, a modular uplink bay, and Network Advantage for advanced routing and segmentation. The base chassis has no uplink module installed; C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Y, and C9300-NM-2Q provide choices for 1G, 10G, 25G, and 40G connections, respectively. This Cisco Catalyst 9300 model occupies one rack unit and connects endpoints that have their own power source rather than supplying PoE. C9300-48P-A is the closest powered sibling, adding PoE+ to the same access-port count. StackWise-480 combines eight members with 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth and a shared management and control plane. A second internal power supply is optional rather than included with the base chassis.
C9300-48T-A price for new stock is $4,066.65, a 56.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $9,391.00. C9300-48T-A refurb price is $1,060.50. C9300-48T-A is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details
256 Gbps switching capacity and 190.47 Mpps forwarding rate define the standalone forwarding envelope; switching capacity with stacking reaches 736 Gbps. Full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 support routed access under Network Advantage, while PIM-SM supports multicast routing. The IPv4 table accommodates 32000 total entries, split between 24000 direct and 8000 indirect routes. C9300-48T-A uses 8 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash for system operation and software storage. A 16 MB packet buffer holds queued traffic, and Cisco UADP 2.0 supplies the forwarding silicon used by this member of the Catalyst 9000 family. MACsec-256 protects supported Ethernet links; NETCONF, RESTCONF, gRPC, and YANG support configuration automation. Three FAN-T2= fans provide cooling with N+1 fan redundancy. 102.3W consumption under full-traffic testing without an uplink module provides a base-chassis reference for power planning; installing an uplink module changes that consumption.
Ordering
C9300-48T-A is available new sealed or certified refurbished; ORM inspects and bench-tests refurbished units, verifies power-on and POST, confirms every port links at rated speed, checks PSU and fan status, verifies firmware, and wipes configurations to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, accessory PIDs, and license requirements on the PO. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty is separate and subject to original-owner and discontinuance conditions. For enterprise and volume orders, ORM accepts POs, offers government Net-30 and RMA with advance replacement, and handles regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

C9300-48T-A Use Case
Data-Only Campus Access Refresh
Deploy C9300-48T-A in campus closets where endpoints already use local power and the network team wants reliable 48-port Gigabit access without PoE spend. The switch supports desktops, printers, lab systems, controllers, and other data-only devices, while modular uplinks let each closet connect upstream over 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, or multigigabit modules as distribution capacity evolves. Network Advantage licensing supports richer routed-access and policy designs, and StackWise-480 lets multiple switches operate as one logical access system for dense enterprise floors securely.
Branch Data Network Standardization
Use this switch for branch or regional offices that need Cisco Catalyst 9300 operations but do not require switch-delivered endpoint power. C9300-48T-A provides a repeatable 48-port Gigabit access profile for workstations, local servers, printers, security appliances, and management devices. The Network Advantage image supports advanced Layer 3 access, segmentation, automation, telemetry, and policy controls that match headquarters standards. Optional redundant power, field-replaceable fans, and modular uplink choices make it easier to stage hardware centrally and ship a consistent branch access design.
Modular Uplink Migration
Choose C9300-48T-A for phased access-layer upgrades where the organization wants one data-only Catalyst platform but different buildings have different uplink needs. A site can start with a 1G SFP module, move to 10G SFP+ during distribution refresh, or adopt 25G or 40G modules where aggregation capacity demands it. Because the SKU includes Network Advantage, teams can standardize advanced routing and segmentation while keeping the switch hardware consistent for inventory planning, lifecycle replacement, and long-term campus expansion across multiple enterprise sites.
Best For
Discontinued Switch Refresh
Replacing discontinued Catalyst 3850 data-access equipment can start with WS-C3850-48T-S or WS-C3850-48T-E, both superseded by this model. Their Cisco support ended October 31, 2025. Capture existing interface assignments and configuration requirements, then specify replacement hardware, license entitlements, and the required uplink selection as separate order lines before issuing the PO.
Routed Gateway Expansion
Moving inter-VLAN gateways into access closets requires the interface plan to fit 1000 switched virtual interfaces. Network segmentation can use VRF under the selected network tier. Inventory gateway interfaces and segmentation requirements separately from endpoint connections, then specify the required routing configuration and license entitlements before issuing the PO.
Evaluation Before Rollout
Staging a switch before a broader hardware order can use 90-day base and subscription evaluation licenses. An expired evaluation cannot be reactivated by reloading the switch. Keep temporary entitlements separate from production acceptance, and specify permanent license ownership and the subscription order before releasing the staged unit into service.
Not Suitable If
PoE-powered phones or access points
C9300-48T-A supplies data connections only and cannot power endpoints over Ethernet. C9300-48P-A retains 48 Gigabit access ports while adding PoE+ for powered-device deployments.
2.5G or 5G endpoint links
C9300-48T-A access ports stop at 1GbE; faster uplink modules do not increase copper downlink speeds. C9300-48UN-A provides 48 Multigigabit ports reaching 5G and adds UPOE.

Questions & Answers
What does the C9300-48T-A part number mean?
C9300-48T-A identifies a Catalyst 9300 with 48 1G copper data ports, modular uplinks, and Network Advantage. C9300 names the series, 48 is the access-port count, T denotes the data-only copper configuration, and A denotes Network Advantage. No separate uplink-speed code is present because the uplink network module is selected separately.
How is the Catalyst 9300 managed?
Catalyst 9300 supports local console, SSH CLI, and WebUI management; centralized options include Cisco Catalyst Center and Meraki dashboard monitoring or management with eligible software and licenses. Automation uses NETCONF, RESTCONF, gRPC, and YANG, while SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 support management integrations. Cloud CLI permissions depend on the dashboard configuration mode.
Is C9300-48T-A end of sale?
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300. C9300-48T-A hardware retirement is separate from end-of-life announcements for individual IOS XE releases and accessories. Subscription expiration also does not establish a hardware end-of-sale date; treat software renewal and hardware lifecycle as separate purchase checks.
What conditions and warranties does ORM offer for C9300-48T-A?
C9300-48T-A is offered new sealed or certified refurbished. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty applies to original owners and is limited to five years after discontinuance.
Which licensing paths are available for C9300-48T-A?
C9300-48T-A includes perpetual Network Advantage. Cisco DNA Advantage or Cisco Catalyst Advantage starts at three years; renewal can use Cisco DNA Essentials or Cisco Catalyst Essentials. Cisco Networking Subscription offers Cisco Switching Essentials or Cisco Switching Advantage, minimum 36 months. New orders require an appropriate subscription and Smart Account; legacy subscription expiry leaves Network Advantage active.
Which older switches does C9300-48T-A replace?
C9300-48T-A replaces discontinued C1-WS3850-48T/K9, WS-C3850-48T-BA, WS-C3850-48T-E, WS-C3850-48T-S, WS-C3850R-48T-E, and WS-C3850R-48T-S. Those products reached end of sale October 30, 2020, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2025. Treat replacement hardware and stack connections as a new order rather than an extension of the discontinued equipment.
Which uplink modules fit C9300-48T-A?
C9300-48T-A supports C9300-NM-4G for four 1G uplinks, C9300-NM-8X for eight 10G/1G uplinks, C9300-NM-2Y for two 25G/10G/1G uplinks, and C9300-NM-2Q for two 40G uplinks. C9300-NM-4M provides four Multigigabit uplinks. The base chassis excludes the network module; specify the selected module and any required compatible optics on the order.
How many C9300-48T-A switches can be stacked?
StackWise-480 stacks eight C9300-48T-A members at 480 Gbps using STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M, or STACK-T1-3M cables. Members must share the network license level. Standard Catalyst 9300 and Catalyst 9300X models can mix at 480 Gbps; fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L/LM and higher-scale Catalyst 9300 models cannot join this standard-model stack.
Does C9300-48T-A support advanced Layer 3 routing?
Yes, C9300-48T-A includes Network Advantage for full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, IS-ISv4, OSPFv3, and BGPv6 routing. PIM-SM provides multicast routing. Hardware IPv4 scale is 32000 total entries, including 24000 direct and 8000 indirect routes; the Network Essentials OSPF limit of 1000 routes does not describe this license tier.
Which power supply ships with C9300-48T-A?
C9300-48T-A ships with one PWR-C1-350WAC-P power supply and accepts an optional second internal supply. PWR-C1-350WAC-P operates from 100-240V AC. The second bay is not populated in the base chassis, although configured orders can add a second supply; specify the actual supply quantity when ordering.
What rack space does C9300-48T-A require?
C9300-48T-A is a 1U rack-mount switch measuring 44 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 449 mm deep with its default PWR-C1-350WAC-P power supply. Weight is 7.45 kg. Allow additional clearance for rear connections, and confirm cabinet depth and available rack space before placing the order.
What is the difference between C9300-48T-A and C9300-48P-A?
C9300-48P-A provides PoE+ on 48 Gigabit access ports, whereas C9300-48T-A provides 48 data-only Gigabit access ports. The powered model supports compatible Ethernet-powered endpoints; the data-only model suits endpoints using separate power. Size the powered model's shared PoE budget against the endpoint load rather than assuming every port can draw maximum power simultaneously.
What is the difference between C9300-48T-A and C9300-48T-E?
C9300-48T-A includes Network Advantage; C9300-48T-E includes Network Essentials. Network Advantage adds full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and IS-IS capabilities, while Network Essentials offers routed access with OSPF limited to 1000 routes. Choose the Advantage model for advanced routing and segmentation, or Essentials when its routed-access feature set meets the requirement.
What is the difference between C9300-48T-A and C9300-24T-A?
C9300-48T-A provides 48 Gigabit data ports, while C9300-24T-A provides 24. Both use modular uplinks and Network Advantage, so endpoint count is the deciding difference here. Specify the 48-port model when the copper connection schedule needs that density; the 24-port variant suits a smaller connection schedule.
Can Catalyst 9300 switches migrate to Meraki software?
Yes, Catalyst 9300 can migrate to Meraki software with an Enterprise or Advanced subscription, starting at one year. C9300-48T-A is supplied with Network Advantage rather than a Meraki subscription. Dashboard deployment requires the appropriate term license; confirm migration eligibility and required software before changing the switch's management mode.
